I have some service monitoring such as:

        SVC "%[Ee]ventlog" startup=automatic status=started
        SVC "%(?i)LanmanServer" startup=%.* status=started COLOR=yellow

First is just alt chars in pos 1 (you don't use | between options inside
[] as your possibilities above), 2nd is match any case.
